[2] The founder of the city, they say, was Pisos, the son of Perieres, the son of Aeolus. The people of Pisa brought of themselves disaster on their own heads by their hostility to the people of Elis, and by their keenness to preside over the Olympic Games instead of them. At the eighth Festival they brought in Pheidon of Argos, the most overbearing of the Greek tyrants, and held the Games along with him, while at the thirty-fourth Festival the people of Pisa, with their king Pantaleon, the son of Omphalion, collected an army from the neighborhood, and held the Olympic Games instead of the Eleians.
